| We all know what will happen if Sonnen can't get ahold of Anderson so I made a poll of what would happen if he can. | |

| Do you guys think Dan Miller has better BJJ than Anderson SIlva. Miller locked in a choke early in his fight with Chael, but could tap him. I think Marquardt did the same. Anderson has great BJJ, but I'm not quite sure it's as good as those guys or at least better. | |

| This is a hard one for me that's why I made the poll. I wanta say Anderson will sub him and to answer your question Boomer I'd say that Anderson does have better bjj than Dan Miller but I still can't make up my mind. | |

| To me it seemed like Sonnen got tired in the 3rd rd against Marquardt and won't be able to last 5 rds with Anderson. |

| If taken down, elbows & defense will get Silva loose and then comes the beating. But I hope Sonnen backs up everything he has said. | |

| I forgot how dangerous Anderson is with strikes from the bottom. And yeah, Sonnen was spent after round three against Marquardt. | |

| If he can get takedowns all night like he did against Marquardt and Okami and avoid an awkward triangle or a guillotine in the shoot he can possibly win a decision here. | |

| History would suggest Sonnen eventually gets tapped if he has anderson on his back for long. Filho, Horn x 2, Babalu, Maia and Griffin all got him from their back. | |

| No, in fairness Maia judo'd the fuck out of him to a triangle from the top. | |

Those guys are all very very good grapplers though. Not to say Anderson isn't but Filho is a former national champion in Jiu Jitsu, as is Maia, as is Babalu if I remember right. Griffin is no slouch either, and he's also huge compared to Sonnen. Horn is just a very good MMA Grappler who never really competed in a specific discipline as far as I know. | |
